BATON ROUGE, La. (Oct. 28, 2026) — Louisiana is among 20 states participating in a lawsuit against Dollar General alleging customers were charged higher prices at checkout than those displayed on store shelves.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Tennessee, claims the retailer engaged in deceptive pricing practices by failing to ensure shelf prices matched register prices.

According to the complaint, the pricing discrepancies were allegedly known within the company and were not adequately corrected despite repeated issues.

Dollar General, headquartered in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, has not publicly admitted wrongdoing. The litigation remains pending.
